CD Sunday - Bingo!

Good morning all, hope everyone is enjoying the olympics and the warm weather. I don't normally do sport but have been an avid watcher this time and enjoying every minute.

Last week we said farewell to our guest Claire and today we welcome a brand new guest, Michelle has joined in with our challenges and the team like what they see so asked if she's like to join us for a month and today is the start of her month, I hope you will go over to her blog and see the beautiful things she creates. Michelle has written a bit about herself so I think it's best if I let her tell you more but we are really pleased she's with us.It is a privilege to be asked to be a GDT for
The CD Sunday Challenges. Although I enjoy most mediums of
cardmaking, cd's are my favourite. I can spend hours cutting out
decoupage. From when I was around 5 years old, my Gran, who
was very well travelled used to bring lots of postcards back with her and we
would paste them into those huge old scrapbooks. She taught me to
knit and embroider. My Mom taught me to sew but I did not succeed
there! I started making cards after making my daughter's wedding
invitations which was a real labour of love because I live in England and she
in Cape Town. Samples were sent back and forth until she settled on
"the one". I then made her a scrapbook of her wedding and
ended up with lots of inks and flowers etc. so decided to try my hand at
cardmaking. I also make patchwork quilts and jewellery
(beads). These seem to have taken a back burner though because I spend
all my time making cards. Thats the reason why I started my blog, just
for challenge purposes, you might notice that I never write anything on
it!

This week is the turn of our latest team member to chose the theme, Sue has only been with us a short while but you seem to like what she does so hopefully she'll be staying, she chose the theme of Bingo just to have a go at it. I do hope you'll all join us and give her your support and I hope you like what the team have done with their line selection.

As usual we will be starting with our guest Michelle, and we sent Michelle the wrong theme for this week so she had to do a rush job for this weeks card so thank you Michelle we are so glad you managed it.

Two lines to choose from die, sentiment and stamp or Pearls, sentiment and ribbon. The backing paper is from Seraphina through the Ages.

So there we have the teams ideas and I think you will agree that there is such a vast amount of things you can do with a bingo card so I do hope you will join in and show us what you can do, just remember take a line from the card and use those items, make sure you tell us what cd you have used and which line you've chosen. Please link back to this blog in your post and no back linking.

Welcome to our CD Sunday Challenge Blog

We have just a few rules.

1. Our Challenges are fortnightly commencing on Sunday. Your entry must be in by 1p.m. (close of play) on the second Saturday in order to be considered for a prize.Any entries received after that time are welcome but will not qualify. 2. Please link your entry to your actual entry and not just to your Blog so that we can find it quickly and easily. If you haven't got a Blog you may still enter by sending your entry via email using our address which is showing below these rules or via our Facebook page. 3. This is a CD Challenge Blog.This means that as well as following the theme of the challenge a CD must have been used somewhere in the making of the card or project.It doesn’t have to be the whole card but it can be.It can be as small as perhaps a sentiment, a paper bow or a button - but there has to be CD content somewhere together with everything else you have used. The CD must be named and credited. If you have used a digital stamp or a download or a USB that is OK as long as you have something else that is from a CD. The fact that your download or USB can also be bought as a CD doesn’t make it count as a CD. You must have used an actual CD and named the one you have used. 4. Only new work please. No back linking allowed.
